REUNION OF THE YESTERDAY FAMILY.


An event in which number of our
residents feel an interest was the fftieth
marriage anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel yesterday, parents of our former
citizen, Prof. A. w. yesterday, which
was celebrated at Lincoln, Neb., Wednes-
day, January 10, 1887. Among those
gathered together on the happy occasion
were their nine children, six sons and
three daughters. One son, Rev. T. r.
yesterday. resides in Neosho, Mo-. and
one daughter, Mrs. A. M. Mundy, at
Carthage, ILL.,; the balance Of their Off
apriug. seven in number, living at Linz
coin. A beautiful incident connected
with the festivities was the administration
of baptism to the youngest granddaughter
of the aged couple, the subject of the
sacred rite being the little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. L. yesterday and grand

COUNTY, COURT AC COMM DATl0N.

It has occurred to many that a session
of the Jefferson county court should be
held in this city each month. This would
be matter OF great convenience to the
people Of this city and vicinity and save
them considerable expense. The city
hall building is so arranged that the
court could be accommodated with an
Office and vault. Beaver Dam, with a
population only half the size OF Water.
town, is accommodated with a monthly
session of the Dodge county court, and
there seems no good reason why Water
town should not have like consideration
from the court of this county. We hope
our assemblyman, Mr.. Field, will interest
himself in this matter and procure the
passage of an act giving WATERFOWL a
session each month of the Jefferson coun-
ty court.

Maggie O'COnnell Again.

A mink cloak valued at $3.50, and be-
longing to Mrs. E. A. Bray, was taken
from the Office of The Catholic Citizen
yesterday afternoon. An hour later
Detective Kennedy, one of John A. Hin
sey's railway detectives, noticed the Dos
torious Maggie O'Connell near Menomi-
nee bridge wearing the cloak. Believing
that she had stolen it, he sent her to the
central station, where she insisted that it
belonged to her. A few days ago she
returned from Chicago, where she gave
the officers great deal of trouble by her
bold thefts from stores and residences.
She was several times locked up, but
being insane, was as often released, the
Chicago authorities finally sending her
back to Milwaukee. She was arrested
Saturday night on charge OF being
drunk and disorderlv, but was discharged
yesterday morning by Judge Mallory up
on promising to return to her home in
WATERFOWL. Mrs. Bray will not prosecute
her, and she will either be sent home OF
committed to some institution for the
insane. -Milwaukee Sentinel, 9th inst.

This morning at St. Demands church
the nuptials of Martin Cummings, of
Chicago, and Miss Maggie Mort On. of this
city, were celebrated ia the presence ofa
large congregation, comprising the rela-
tives, friends and admirers of the con-
tracing parties. The ceremony binding
the couple for life was performed by the
Rev. Father Condor, while Aggie Norton
and Willie Cummings, both of Chicago,
niece and nephew, respectively, of the
bride and groom waited upon the betroth-
ed pair at the altar. We offer coagratn-

richly deserve. Mr.. and Mrs. Cummings
will reside in Chicago and the prayers OF
their legion of friends here, who have
known them since childhood, will ascend

company opened at Turner Hall for an
engagement for a week, last Monday
evening, rendering the play of 1.-THE
Danites," followed last evening with the
sensational drama of"Our Railroad Men,"
a piece entirely new to our citizens. This

than an average one in ability. Thus far
the impression made has been most favor
able and increased interest in the efforts
of the company may be expected, as they
continue their repertoire, which includes
some of the leading dramas of the day.
."Peck's Bad Boy will be given This even
ing, the first time it has ever been pre-
scented to WATERFOWL audience, and, of
course, it is needless TO say, that the play
is inimitably funny and should fill the

MY TURN NEXT.

Last Thursday evening St.Agnes Guild,
of St. Paul's church, gave a charming
entertainment at the residence of P. V.
Brown. The farce, "My Turn Next
was presented to large audience by
home talent, the amateur actors being
heartily applauded throughout the pro-
gress of the play. While it is scarcely just
to discriminate, We cannot forbear men
tioning that in the opinion of every one
who witnessed the performance, Mr.. A.
E. Anderson was the star of the evening.
Though the others took their parts well,
his was the observed of all observers. y
After the play had concluded fine lunch
was served to all. The profits realized
were about $25,so that the affair was very
successful.
